Reference these ISOs in your Packer configuration:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
# packer/windows.pkr.hcl
|
|
|
|
source "proxmox-iso" "windows-11" {
|
|
# Primary OS ISO
|
|
iso_file = "local:iso/CLIENT_LTSC_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso"
|
|
|
|
# VirtIO Drivers as secondary CD
|
|
additional_iso_files {
|
|
device = "sata1"
|
|
iso_file = "local:iso/virtio-win.iso"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
## ISO Verification
|
|
|
|
### Check File Integrity
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# On Proxmox host
|
|
ls -lh /mnt/pve-07-iso-nvme/template/iso/
|
|
|
|
# Expected output:
|
|
# -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.5G Feb 6 10:50 CLIENT_LTSC_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso
|
|
# -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 500M Feb 6 10:50 virtio-win.iso
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Verify in Proxmox GUI
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to **Datacenter** → **Storage** → **ISO**

|
|
|
| Issue | Cause | Solution |

| ISO not found | Wrong storage path | Verify `/mnt/pve-07-iso-nvme/template/iso/` |
|
|
| Mount failed | ISO corrupted | Re-download and verify checksum |
|
|
| VirtIO not loading | Wrong driver location | Check `additional_iso_files` path |
